Usually ships within 1-5 business days: Toward a brighter future for mental health care.
What does an 82-year-old doctor want to convey to the future generation of psychiatrists?
From the 50-year trajectory of pursuing ideal relationships between patients and the community,
considering the true nature of mental health care—.
The author's career as a psychiatrist began in 1965—
At that time, Japan's mental health care system was riddled with problems.
For example, when someone developed a mental illness, they were hospitalized in psychiatric hospitals and their symptoms were suppressed with medication.
If symptoms worsened, physical restraints were often used, and abuse of patients was not uncommon.
Additionally, the isolation of patients in psychiatric hospitals widened the distance from the general public, leading to increased prejudice.
Amid such circumstances, the author opened a psychiatric clinic in 1979 in Nanyō City, Yamagata Prefecture, his hometown.
After 14 years of experience as a psychiatrist, he aimed to realize his ideal of a society where "people with mental disabilities can live harmoniously with others."
This book summarizes the author's 50-year journey.
Over these 50 years, the author has engaged in various efforts.
Three years after opening the clinic, he established a ward equipped to accept acute-phase patients, aiming for early discharge while also ensuring a smooth transition back into the community.
